본 연구는 국민건강영양조사를 이용하여 도시와농촌지역에 거주하는 노인의 건강행태와 질병수준을 파악하고, 사회인구학적 특성을 통제한 상태에서 도시와 농촌지역의 노인의 건강수준을 비교하고자 수행하였다. 제4기 국민건강 영양조사(2007년-2009년) 자료를 이용하였으며, 65세 이상노인으로 건강면접조사, 보건의식행태조사, 검진조사에 참여하여 분석에 필요한 변수가 모두 확보된 3,823명을 최종 연구대상으로 하였다. 지역의 분류는 행정지역과 동, 읍면으로 구분된 거주지역을 이용하여 ‘대도시’, ‘도시’, ‘농촌’으로 분류하였다. 가중치를 적용한 복합표본분석을 시행하여 지역에 따른 건강행태, 정신 건강 및 만성질환수준 증의 건강상태를 비교하였다. 연구결과, 우리나라 65세 이상 노인의 건강수준은 농촌지역이 사회경제적 여건은 도시지역에비해 열악하지만 노인의 건강행태나 건강상태는도시지역에 비해 더 양호함을 알 수 있었다. 농촌지역을 대도시 지역과 비교할 경우 건강행태및 건강상태의 교차비는 독감접종 1.58(95% 신뢰구간 1.25-2.01)로 유의하게 높았고, 유연성운동0.47(0.37-0.59), 근력운동 0.56(0.38-0.81), 비만0.76(0.62-0.92)로 유의하게 낮았다. 질환 이환 중관절염(0.81, 95% 신뢰구간: 0.66-0.99)과 당뇨병(0.70, 0.55-0.89)의 교차비는 농촌지역에서 대도시지역에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다. 결론적으로 65세 이상 노인의 건강행태와 건강수준은 이들의 거주 지역에 따라 차이가 있음을알 수 있었다. 따라서 노인의 건강 수준의 향상을위해서는 지역 특성과 여건에 맞는 프로그램의개발이 필요하며, 거주 지역에 따른 차이를 설명할 수 있는 특성을 파악하고자 하는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
Abstract
Objectives: To identify and compare the health behaviors and health status of the elderly between urban and rural areas using the data of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Methods: The study population comprised 3,823 elderly people aged 65 years or older who participated in the 4th KNHANES (2007–2009). The areas were classified into “large cities,” “cities,” and “rural areas” using the administrative and residential areas. The health behaviors and health status of the elderly between the rural and urban areas were compared using a complex sample design with the Rao-Scott chi-square test and weighted multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared to large cities, the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of rural areas were as high as 1.58 (1.25–2.01) for the influenza vaccination and as low as 0.47 (0.37–0.59) for flexibility exercises, 0.56 (0.38–0.81) for muscular exercises, and 0.76 (0.62–0.92) for obesity. The ORs (CI) for osteoarthritis and diabetes mellitus were as low as 0.81 (0.66–0.99) and 0.70 (0.55–0.89), respectively. Conclusions: The health behaviors and health status of the elderly are better in rural areas than in urban areas despite the fact that the socioeconomic conditions in rural areas are poorer that those in urban areas. These findings suggest that programs suitable for residential areas should be developed and that studies to explain the differences in residential areas are needed.
